FRONT TOWARD ENEMY We don't need your protection.
 Most in the photo are from Washington, pic taken north of Bonner MT, the fun thing about 42FF is it gets around and makes best friends and allies with fellow Americans. |

Interesting.
All TRG would need is a rainbow flag and he would be off and running. |

It was a blast, finally found a place to shoot the long guns where range is well beyond the performance of the round. |

Quite the gear assortment. Ever think of standardizing some of it?

Our body armor is fairly standardized, but that's about it. The only item that really needs to be standardized is the location and minimum contents of the first aid kit. Beyond that, personal preference is the way to go. Different body shapes and sizes do better with different types of gear. Specializations also dictate unique gear solutions. A commo geek's loadout will differ some from a medic's. Another factor making standardization undesirable is the fact that some have limited budgets. |

The only thing we standardize is ammo like 5.56x45 7.62x51 7.62x39 everything else is not a logistical concern besides a old surplus bolt gun is better than nothing no matter the caliber.  |

I have read up on 1st,2nd, and 3rd line gear. I think that would show that there is some attempt at standardizing, along with Com's, and the NMS on Rifle Qual's, and expectations. |

I like the brown colored shirts, they seem to blend better than the green colors. I've noticed that in most pictures, the woodland camo tends to stand out from the surrounding terrain by drawing my eye towards the darker shapes.

It was a long drive but it was worth it. We met some good people and made some new friends. Strat or SAR please email me the pictures from the FTX. I hope the resolution comes out a little better than this pic. Army of One needs to see a dermitolygist right away. His skin is melting! I was totally safe under my camoflauge berka!

I just got home yesterday from a family vacation drive through Montana. Looks like you had more fun than I did!
It sure is nice to visit a state where even the smallest town has a gunshop, or at least, a gunsmith. |

I would love to live in MT and even put up with the extreme cold of winter but making a living there is very hard. IT was in the high 90's during the day and it frosted during the night, the elevation was real close to a mile high. Heard some full auto stuff going off down in the valley, another good feature of MT, way more gun friendly. |

Here's a link to some more pics from our Montana adventure.
http://www.americanminuteman.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4375 BTW, I noticed that the great state of Montana doesn't have a Hometown Forum. There must be some AR shooters in Montana or could it be that they are all M1A shooters? There's lots of room there for making long range shots. |

I was noticing that there were a lot of carbines/AK types for the type of area you were in. Would almost think a old bolt gun in a bigger cal. would work out better than carbine length rifles. |

I was reading the posts and went... "I have met him before", somebody is about to get a ass chewing! Anyway, Optics are a good thing to have, but you better know about your Irons first, and even with good optics, a weak-assed round at that range is still that.... A weak-assed round. BBL length in that type of environment is also something I would worry about....only a fool takes a carbine length rifle to a long-range shooting match if he/she has the choice of a full length bbl.

There were enough full-length 308s to keep things under control while the m4ish folks maneuvered. I really like irons for sighting, I do very well with them. The problem is that without magnification it's hard to tell that funny stump from a guy kneeling when it's 400m away.

I hear you about the difficulty of making a living in MT. We just inherited my great-grandparents' homestead outside of Lewistown and have been considering moving there. What stops me is the lack of fall-back employment should our business encounter lean times. That's probably why my great-grandparents moved on when the depression hit. It is definitely more gun friendly than WA. It's the first place I've gone where no one raised an eyebrow at my "casual wear" - DCUs with summer boots.
